Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of transformers and relates to a method for calculating the average temperature rise of the windings of an oil-immersed transformer based on breathing characteristic parameters. Background Art
[0002] Oil-immersed transformers are indispensable equipment in the power system, and their function is mainly to control the rise or fall of voltage. The temperature rise monitoring of transformer windings is crucial for the safe operation of oil-immersed transformers. Traditional methods mainly rely on mechanical winding thermometers for direct measurement, but they are easily affected by factors such as ratio error and electrothermal loss, resulting in insufficient measurement accuracy; emerging methods mainly rely on various fluid mechanics models, such as multiphase flow models or fluid-structure-thermal coupling models, set heat sources and boundary conditions, and use numerical calculation methods for simulation calculation to achieve accurate measurement, but the calculation steps are quite complex and the calculation cost is quite high. Although there are already optimization methods such as the dynamic mode decomposition - adaptive variable step size method to improve the calculation efficiency. However, these methods are still insufficient in improving the calculation efficiency.
[0003] In fact, during the operation of the transformer, the temperature rise of the transformer windings will also cause changes in the internal oil temperature, which will in turn cause the volume of the oil to expand or contract, and ultimately cause gas exchange between the transformer and the outside atmosphere, that is, the breathing phenomenon of the transformer. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the connection between the breathing phenomenon and the winding temperature rise, that is, to calculate the average temperature rise of the windings of the oil-immersed transformer based on the breathing characteristic parameters. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention proposes a method for calculating the average temperature rise of the windings of an oil-immersed transformer based on breathing characteristic parameters. It is characterized by including the following steps:

[0006] S2. Collect the test data of the flow rate, pressure difference, temperature, and humidity required under the rated and actual working conditions of the transformer;
[0007] S3. Calculate the required breathing characteristic parameters, the dynamic impedance coefficient of the transformer, and the silica gel life attenuation coefficient of the breather;
[0008] S4. Calculate the average temperature rise of the transformer windings.
[0009] In step S1, the maintenance-free breather can perform drying and regeneration treatment on the moisture-saturated silica gel, and can record the regeneration times, which is used as the silica gel cycle times m. The flow sensor and the temperature sensor need to be installed at the connection flange of the transformer breather, and the pressure sensor and the humidity sensor need to be installed at one place each at the inlet and outlet of the transformer breather to form a set of sensors.
[0010] In step S2, for collecting the flow rate, pressure difference, temperature, and humidity data of the transformer under rated conditions and actual conditions, the flow sensor should record, in chronological order, the flow rate values recorded at the k-th measurement before reaching the steady-state operation under the rated conditions and actual conditions of the transformer, denoted as A k0 and A k respectively; the temperature sensor should record the temperatures of the respective gases under rated conditions and actual conditions, denoted as T0 and T; the humidity sensor only needs to record the gas humidities of the respective inflows and outflows of the breather under actual conditions, denoted as H in and H out respectively; the pressure sensor should obtain the pressure difference by subtracting the pressure measured by the sensor at the outlet from the pressure measured by the sensor at the inlet, and thus record the pressure differences of the respective rated conditions and actual conditions as P0 and P.

[0014] In step S3, for calculating the dynamic impedance coefficient of the transformer, the formula is as shown below:

[0016] In the formula, Z0 is the dynamic impedance coefficient at room temperature of 298K, Z is the dynamic impedance coefficient at the current temperature T, μ is the air dynamic viscosity of the gas at the current temperature T, μ0 is the air dynamic viscosity of the gas at room temperature of 298K, both μ and μ0 are obtained based on the Sutherland formula using the temperature, P and P0 are the pressure differences under actual conditions and rated conditions respectively, ε is the porosity of the silica gel tank, and L is the equivalent length of the gas flow path.
